500ml bottle: BBD 31 Oct 2015. Poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 25 Mar 2015. Copper hue to the golden body, on top a deep foaming head of white bubbles. Hops all the way in this brew, crisp and refreshing, bitter and yet fruity feel to the flavours. Better than I expected to be honest.

Nose is strong butterscotch, slight floral note. Taste is butterscotch, leading to light pine, toffee, slight floral and herbal notes, with a sharp grapefruit bitterness. It’s a decent golden ale, but it does feel like it falls between two stools. It’s not the full on hop hit of a modern IPA, but feels to divorced from a traditional English bitter and never transcends either style.

Cask gravity at the Watford beer festival 2014. Golden colour mostly clear small halo of head. Aroma is green citrus hop, base malt, little resin. Flavour is base malt with little floral lemon citrus. Well balanced and drinkable. Palate is medium light moderate carbonation. Decent.

On cask in Ambleside at a restaurant cafe type of place called Stiles. Appearance - golden orange with a nice head. Nose - orange and barley. Taste - more orange barley water. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - it’s a style that most of the top UK brewers have managed to capture in at least one of their beers. Nothing new but no need to change it.
